Book Synopsis Beckett's Intermedial Ecosystems by : Anna McMullan
Download or read book Beckett's Intermedial Ecosystems written by Anna McMullan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element draws on the concept of ecosystems to investigate selected Beckett works across different media which present worlds where the human does not occupy a privileged place in the order of creation: rather Beckett's human figures are trapped in a regulated system in which they have little agency. Readers, listeners or viewers are complicit in the operation of techniques of observation inherent to the system, but also reminded of the vulnerability of those subjected to it. Beckett's work offers new paradigms and practices which reposition the human in relation to space, time and species.
Book Synopsis Beckett and media by : Balazs Rapcsak
Download or read book Beckett and media written by Balazs Rapcsak and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beckett and media provides the first sustained examination of the relationship between Beckett and media technologies. The book analyses the rich variety of technical objects, semiotic arrangements, communication processes and forms of data processing that Beckett’s work so uniquely engages with, as well as those that – in historically changing configurations – determine the continuing performance, the audience reception, and the scholarly study of this work. Beckett and media draws on a variety of innovative theoretical approaches, such as media archaeology, in order to discuss Beckett’s intermedial oeuvre. As such, the book engages with Beckett as a media artist and examines the way his engagement with media technologies continues to speak to our cultural situation.
Book Synopsis Samuel Beckett and Ecology by : Nicholas Johnson
Download or read book Samuel Beckett and Ecology written by Nicholas Johnson and published by Methuen Drama. This book was released on 2025-02-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length book to investigate Beckett's work through contemporary ecological thinking, offering a wide range of artistic and scholarly responses to ongoing ecological crises. In response to the ever-growing urgency of the ecological crisis, the vitality and the creativity of art and literature have been singled out as sources of hope by Nobel Prize awardee in chemistry and coiner of the 'Anthropocene', Paul J. Crutzen. Samuel Beckett was not an environmental artist, but his oeuvre, poised between forms of precarity and hope, is a rich territory for the exploration of the most pressing issues of our time: the rift between the human species, its technological and economic advancement and the ecologies that sustain it all. In recent years, Beckett's name, aphorisms and work have frequently been invoked relative to this global crisis, helping stimulate debates on ecology, the arts and the eco-systemic place of the human. Beckett and Ecology is the first full-length book to offer a wide range of scholarly responses to the ecological crises provoked, mediated or challenged by Beckett's work. The volume reflects on the varied practices and narratives in Beckettian intermedial ecologies, offering new insights into the connections between Beckett and the Anthropocene in the terrains of translation, adaptation, performance and the visual arts. Chapters also explore the potential of Happy Days (1961) for posthuman and ecological thought, and the role it has taken in eco-theatre. Short bursts of writing, entitled 'Coups de gong,' are woven throughout the volume and testify to the variety of Beckett-inspired local responses to global climate instability.
Book Synopsis Samuel Beckett and Catastrophe by : Michiko Tsushima
Download or read book Samuel Beckett and Catastrophe written by Michiko Tsushima and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Beckett and Catastrophe is a groundbreaking collection of original essays that explore the relation between Samuel Beckett and catastrophe in terms of war, the Holocaust, nuclear disasters and ecological crisis. Responding to the post-catastrophic situations in the twentieth century, Beckett created characters who often seem to have been through an unknown catastrophe. Although the importance of catastrophe in Beckett has been noted sporadically, there has been no substantial attempt to discuss his aesthetics and work in relation to it. This collection will therefore serve as the first sustained study to explore the theme of catastrophe in Beckett and will be a highly significant contribution to Beckett studies. Chapter “Slow Violence and Slow Going: Encountering Beckett in the Time of Climate Catastrophe” is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
Book Synopsis Beckett's afterlives by : Jonathan Bignell
Download or read book Beckett's afterlives written by Jonathan Bignell and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the steady rise in adaptations of Samuel Beckett’s work across the world following the author’s death in 1989, Beckett’s afterlives is the first book-length study dedicated to this creative phenomenon. The collection employs interrelated concepts of adaptation, remediation and appropriation to reflect on Beckett’s own evolving approach to crossing genre boundaries and to analyse the ways in which contemporary artists across different media and diverse cultural contexts – including the UK, Europe, the USA and Latin America – continue to engage with Beckett. The book offers fresh insights into how his work has kept inspiring both practitioners and audiences in the twenty-first century, operating through methodologies and approaches that aim to facilitate and establish the study of modern-day adaptations, not just of Beckett but other (multimedia) authors as well.
Book Synopsis Beckett and Cioran by : Steven Matthews
Download or read book Beckett and Cioran written by Steven Matthews and published by . This book was released on 2024-05-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element discusses the association between Samuel Beckett, and the Romanian-born philosopher, E. M. Cioran. It draws upon the known biographical detail, but, more substantially, upon the terms of Beckett's engagement with Cioran's writings, from the 1950s to the 1970s. Certain of Cioran's key conceptualisations, such as that of the 'meteque', and his version of philosophical scepticism, resonate with aspects of Beckett's writing as it evolved beyond the 'siege in the room'. More particularly, aspects of Cioran's conclusion about the formal nature that philosophy must assume chime with some of the formal decisions taken by Beckett in the mid-late prose. Through close reading of some of Beckett's key works such as Texts for Nothing and How It Is, and through consideration of Beckett's choices when translating between English and French, the issues of identity and understanding shared by these two settlers in Paris are mutually illuminated.
Book Synopsis Beckett and Stein by : Georgina Nugent
Download or read book Beckett and Stein written by Georgina Nugent and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What motivated Beckett, in 1937, to distance himself from the 'most recent work' of his mentor James Joyce, and instead praise the writings of Gertrude Stein as better reflecting his 'very desirable literature of the non-word'? This Element conducts the first extended comparative study of Stein's role in the development of Beckett's aesthetics. In doing so it redresses the major critical lacuna that is Stein's role and influence on Beckett's nascent bilingual aesthetics of the late 1930s. It argues for Stein's influence on the aesthetics of language Beckett developed throughout the 1930s, and on the overall evolution of his bilingual English writings, arguing that Stein's writing was itself inherently bilingual. It forwards the technique of renarration – a form of repetition identifiable in the work of both authors – as a deliberate narrative strategy adopted by both authors to actualise the desired semantic tearing concordant with their aesthetic praxes in English.
Download or read book Insufferable written by Daniela Caselli and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element brings to Beckett questions that have emerged from gender, queer, and trans theory, engages with the history of feminism and sexuality studies, and develops a theoretical framework able to account for what we have previously overlooked, underplayed, and misinterpreted in Beckett.
Book Synopsis Samuel Beckett and Disability Performance by : Hannah Simpson
Download or read book Samuel Beckett and Disability Performance written by Hannah Simpson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-20 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beckett’s plays have attracted a striking range of disability performances – that is, performances that cast disabled actors, regardless of whether their roles are explicitly described as ‘disabled’ in the text. Grounded in the history of disability performance of Beckett’s work and a new theorising of Beckett’s treatment of the impaired body, Samuel Beckett and Disability Performance examines four contemporary disability performances of Beckett’s plays, staged in the UK and US, and brings the rich fields of Beckett studies and disability studies into mutually illuminating conversation. Pairing original interviews with the actors and directors involved in these productions alongside critical analysis underpinned by recent disability and performance theory, this book explores how these productions emphasise or rework previously undetected indicators of disability in Beckett’s work. More broadly, it reveals how Beckett’s theatre compulsively interrogates alternative embodiments, unexpected forms of agency, and the extraordinary social interdependency of the human body.
Download or read book Bad Godots written by S. E. Gontarski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element focuses on the machinery of commercial theatre, on extra-authorial interventions into the creative process and on the people and institutional forces that foster them. Such a process challenges the autonomy of the artwork and authorial integrity. The primary focus of this Element is then on the hybrid genre of theatre where collective esthetics tends to override and so to supersede individual creation. The essay pays special attention to Samuel Beckett's first professionally produced play, Waiting for Godot, primarily its English language premieres in the US, UK, and the Republic of Ireland. Its implications, however, reach far beyond the genetic and production histories of a single theatrical work to deal with the nature of authorship in a monetized culture, the process of realizing dramatic texts in such a culture, and Samuel Beckett's engagement with such machinery of art.
Book Synopsis Carnivals of Ruin by : Trish McTighe
Download or read book Carnivals of Ruin written by Trish McTighe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beckett's work is somewhat out of step with the logic of commemoration and celebration. Festival, with its association with celebration, spectacle, and publicity, would not seem the ideal vehicle for Beckett's work. Yet that work has become highly festivalised, and the incongruities between it and festival forms provide a useful basis from which to examine both Beckett as festivalised commodity and festivals themselves. Festivalising Beckett in Ireland might be characterised as a way of bringing him back home, as well as a way of returning him to the canonical fold - he showed little interest in either during his later years, it need hardly be added. This Element examines Beckett's dissidence in the face of these imperatives of nation, home and the canon, utilising Beckett's work in festival contexts to highlight in the negative the nature of the festival form and to critique the festivalisation of culture.
Book Synopsis Absorption and Theatricality by : Conor Carville
Download or read book Absorption and Theatricality written by Conor Carville and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Beckett's 1976 Television play Ghost Trio is one of his most beautiful and mysterious works. It is also the play that most clearly demonstrates Beckett's imaginative and aesthetic engagement with the visual arts and the history of painting in particular. Drawing on the work of Stanley Cavell and Michael Fried, On Ghost Trio demonstrates Beckett's exploration of the relationship between theatricality, absorption and objecthood, and shows how his work anticipates the development of video and installation art. In doing so Conor Carville develops a new and highly original reading of Beckett's art, rooted in both archival sources and philosophical aesthetics.

Book Synopsis Linking Industry and Ecology by : Ray Côté
Download or read book Linking Industry and Ecology written by Ray Côté and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It might, at first glance, seem to many that industry and ecology make strange bedfellows. For proponents of sustainable development, however, such a union is crucial. How else are we to make the industries that are so central to modern societies consistent with our visions of a sustainable future? Linking Industry and Ecology explores the origins, promise, and relevance of the emerging field of industrial ecology. It situates industrial ecology within the broader range of environmental management strategies and concepts, from the practices of pollution prevention through life cycle management, to the more fundamental shift toward dematerialization and ecological design. The book makes a compelling argument for the need to think ecologically to develop innovative and competitive industrial policy. The contributors to this volume draw on their experience in a variety of disciplines to chart a clear path for industrial ecology. Their work not only affirms what has been learned to date in this nascent field but also provides new insight for a discourse traditionally dominated by natural scientists and engineers, by demonstrating that technologies are socially and politically embedded.

Book excerpt: Rooted firmly in the principles of econology, the agricultural enterprise, even though having been exposed to the impact of environmental problems arising from land degradation, soil erosion, groundwater depletion and pollution and loss of biological diversity, has so far stood firm and survived to meet the food requirements of the growing population, so much so that there have been some striking instances of food glut in several countires, including some that used to sufer famiens only half a century ago.
